Ah, see. I don't aim for handhelds. I mean, I don't have any content   
meaningful to someone 'on the road'. My pages are way too long for   
comfortable reading in those tiny things too. That's why a handheld is   
almost never on my mind when authoring. And that's also why I refered to   
graphical browsers with CSS. You put it in a different context. Worth your   
while thinking off, mind you. But different. I don't think my site is read   
with a handheld ever, or close to never at least.

Hang on. What makes you say that? I don't see any bad markup. There is no   
bad markup involved. You, dear Sir Dorward, may have some (sometimes   
strong) opinions on this matter, but that doesn't make your opinions   
_the_ultimate_truth_.

Not necessarily, no. As I indicated in a previous post, one can use the   
preloaded images to create hover effects in menu's and such. And as I see   
that, there is no eason what so ever to use javascript for that. A bit of   
css will do that for you just fine. And as far as I'm concerned, css does   
that better, than javascript does. 
 
All in my opinion of course :-)
